New Pictures of Rob Filming 'The Rover' + Article with Info

The teen heart-throb was on the roadside set for just an hour for a fight scene where it appeared he came off second best.

In their efforts to block The Advertiser 's exclusive shots, the film crew and minders closed the road and claimed "ownership" of the town of about six buildings, east of Port Augusta.

"We own this town," a film producer told The Advertiser.

Minders used umbrellas and trucks to keep intrusive cameras off the star, who appeared to be sporting a close-shaved haircut for the role.

He also looks to have forgone his clean-cut look for the movie and has a three-day growth.

The scene featured Pattinson staggering out of the passenger side of a ute before being beaten to the ground by the driver.

Extras and a potential stand-in for Pattinson were also in Hammond for the filming and had earlier been in nearby Quorn where Pattinson is said to have had a drink at one of its pubs over the weekend.

Earlier yesterday, The Rover crew was filming at an even more remote location, the largely deserted town of Bruce.

The Rover is understood to be shooting at locations deeper in to the Flinders Ranges for the rest of this week and next month as far north as Marree.

The stars of the film and some of the extras are understood to be staying in Port Augusta while the movie's production centre has been set up in the Quorn Town Hall.

On set, the stars are well catered for as temperatures reach the high-30s this week - they have two airconditioned motorhomes.

Pattinson flew into Adelaide on January 18 - minus actress girlfriend Kristen Stewart - and spent more than a week around town, meeting the film's producers at the SA Film Corporation's new Glenside studios

The Twilight star was spotted having dinner on Gouger St with The Rover director David Michod and producer Liz Watts.

Pattinson was also photographed riding a bike around the Rivers Torrens without a helmet - an offence that earned him a warning from the police.

I know Dean has been there from the beginning but Rob is filming in the middle of nowhere and I don't think there will be very many paps or crazy fans there lol!It was meant to be a joke mainly!!! Glad he's protected just the same!!

Its really respectfulness for the people taking these pictures to not listen to the movie productions' wishes to leave them alone. Then the camera people try to make the movie people sound like the bad guy. Really?! So rude.

IMO Kristen shouldn't visited Rob,because it only enqurage the paparazzi to follow them and Rob should have a peace while he's working.This is very important movie in his career,he should focus on it,he has said that it's really tough script.He doesn't need the paparazzi asked him and Kristen about their relationship.

yeah Rob is looking great, I hope he's not finding the outback too uncomfortable it must be getting really hot out there. I know Rob loves it here in Australia and it seems he's having a goodtime but it's summer here but it gets really hot in the outback Australia. glad he's safe the bugs would be bothering him a little bit, but Rob likes getting down and dirty. I hope Kristen comes down to visit him soon, I'm sure that they are texting each other and talking but I think he's going to miss having Kristen near.

thank you. I hope Kristen will come down soon but I'm not sure if she's going to come down, she might just want Rob to focus on his work. Rob looks really thin he looks healthy but I hope he's off the juice diet now and just eating good healthy food, I worry that he's going to get himself so thin he's going to get sick. I bet Kristen has already told him that it's time to get off the juice diet and eating food again. I bet if she comes down to Australia she'll cook for him. I'm sure she's got something nice in mind for him.

So glad that the umbrellas they were suppose to be hiding behind wasn't hiding Rob. He looks good. Hope Kristen gets to see him soon too. Of course, this is his job, but I'm sure they miss each other. Wasn't really expecting to see any pics so soon. He does look thinner, but then he was trying to lose weight. Don't remember what interview but he was on a liquid diet so he could still drink. Loves his beer. He even made a comment about the pics last spring when he was paddle boarding. He was upset that he looked heavy. Didn't seem to mind that we got to see him paddle boarding, which was amazing. Anyway, hope he is taking care to dring lots of water and getting rest as the heat will get to you quick.

@Sherry--I agree, Rob looks good...thin, but really good. He's doing his thing, he (like Kristen) loves the process of making movies. Australia is lucky to have him there for awhile! A lot of the women in Hollywood go on 3-wk juice fasts, especially before the award ceremonies or before they start filming--I, too, remember Rob saying he was juicing as well (the actress who played Kendra, Eric's bodyguard in Cosmopolis, also was on a 3-wk juice fast to get into shape for her sex romp with Rob's character). Unless you are naturally thin or have good genes, it must be hard to maintain such little body weight to be an actor. I don't normally see stars, so I never really got just how thin they can be in person, but my kids went to a private high school and on occasion I would see Christine Baranski, Denis Leary, and Sofia Vergara in the town. Denis (56) is extremely thin, and Christine (61) and Sofia (40) were so thin & petite in person, from behind, they look like 13 year old girls! Typically, as one gets older, it's hard to keep ones weight down, so I can appreciate what actors have to go through. (Personally, I've been on a 3-wk juice cleanse & it's not the easiest thing to do.) Best of luck to Rob with his work, the heat, the fans & paps, juicing & hydrating, & I hope he has time for a beer or two!

We have not seen kristen for a.long time now, who knows if shes.with him already?! Remember,they were able to hide from papz when they return back from london after their new year get-away. Maybe kristen.was able to do.that.again, and she needs to stay.inside their hotel since its very hot in their these days ;) (crossing my fingers)

She is not with him,he is working,why do you want him to focus on his girlfriend,instead on his very difficult role?It seems like you are not interested in his movie only his relationship.They're fine,you don't have to worry.

Don't think she is there with him- I think she respects Rob need to concentrate on working. I do wish she would show up at the Grammy's-She loves music-maybe she can get Marcus-Sam or Bobbie to go with her.
